The best restaurants in Downend South Gloucestershire South West

I absolutely love this family run cafe . Kerry and Rich are so lovely and welcoming. I’m a coffee snob and the coffee here is spot on . I should have put a photo of my breakfast on but I’ve eaten it , lol . The food is beautifully seasoned and very good value for money . There are tables outside but it’s pet friendly anyway . They also do outside catering . Please support this local business.

Tried this place last night and it was incredible, the owner helped me pick a dish and it was the best pasta I'd ever had! The staff were so lovely, decent prices and the decor is really nice too, would highly recommend

Booked online for Sunday lunch middle of the week, only to arrive today and after waiting ages for our order to be taken then told no Sunday lunch available. Asked to see the manager she told us various excuses the place was not busy at all then someone else's asked for Sunday lunch and they were told differently that a party of 12 walked in at 12.30 and took all the lunch. I have had Sunday lunch on 3 occasions before and never had a problem I'm sorry I won't be going to eat at your restaurant again I wouldn't of minded if we had been told the truth.

Our local fish and chips - food is amazing, especially the loaded spicy fries. 100% out go to for a takeaway and the customer service is amazing, feel part of the family when you walk in

Was OK , would come back again.

Really tasty food, and so friendly too

the friendly Indian takeaway with the softest lamb i have ever had ever , if your a lamb fan you simply have to try with pleasure . a well recommended place to have a delivery or collect 5*****

Just paid a tenner for a sandwich, top slice of bread stale Espresso not hot

Fantastic food and service, it's definitely the best curry place I've been to!

Friendly staff and nice food. Not the cheapest cafe though

Great local pub, had a lovely drink there tonight, nice atmosphere but not too noisy like other locals in the area, so I could have a nice drink with my other half. Great service by barman Vitali!

Quick visit for lunch, good food and service, has a nice garden too. Worth a visit, probably the best pub in the area.

Good meal served quite quickly.

Full of kids and an actual new born baby at 9pm.

There are, arguably, two reasons to visit Downend. One is on a summer’s afternoon to watch Downend CC play cricket with the bar in full swing and plenty of boundaries being scored as the ground is relatively small; the other is to pay a visit to Melanie’s Kitchen. This delicatessen shop is a positive cornucopia of cheeses, bakery items, biscuits, chutneys, artisan breads etc etc. The man who serves at the cheese counter (who I assume is not Melanie!) is a fountain of knowledge on local cheeses and knows all of the local cheese producers, when their cheeses are at their best and is happy to provide advice to ensure that you will leave well satisfied having enjoyed a sensory and culinary experience second to none. It’s full marks from me.
